Let’s be honest, co-parenting isn’t always mature conversations and shared calendars. Sometimes it’s war in slow motion. In this episode of Parenting Next Gen, we’re getting real about the chaos that comes when two people are raising the same kid with very different energy. We talk about what happens when:

• Your ex constantly undermines your parenting
• You're stuck between protecting your peace and protecting your child
• You’re trying to lead with faith... but you’re also losing your patience
• Your teen is caught in the middle, and you don’t know how to fix it

We also dive into the uncomfortable but necessary questions:

• Can you actually be fully present for your child while still chasing your own dreams?
• And when things feel out of control is faith enough, or do you need therapy, too?

This episode isn’t for perfect parents. It’s for the ones in the middle of the mess still trying, still showing up, and still believing there’s a better way forward. Press play. Let’s talk about the chaos no one wants to admit they’re living in.

In this episode of Parenting Next Gen, we’re asking the questions most people avoid:

• Are you too sensitive with your kids or are you just emotionally aware?

• Why do dads still get a bad rap in parenting conversations?
• What words actually come to mind when you think “mother” or “father”?
• And is stepparent love different… or just defined differently?

We unpack modern parenting roles, emotional identity, and how love shows up in blended families. Whether you're a biological parent, stepparent, or co-parent this episode challenges assumptions and makes space for empathy.

In this raw and reflective episode of Parenting Next Gen, we open up about the unspoken needs we had growing up and how they’ve shaped the way we show up as parents today.

From awkward conversations about sex and romance (or the lack of them) to the role of prayer in the home, we’re diving into the hard stuff:

• What age should you talk to your teen about sexuality and dating?
• Is prom becoming too much or is it just evolving with the times?
• Were you rebellious as a kid… and what would’ve made a difference?
• Are we modeling a life of faith or just hoping they figure it out?

We’re not here to blame; we’re here to break cycles, lead with love, and give our kids what we didn’t always receive: honesty, connection, and guidance.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m trying to parent differently than I was raised,” this episode is for you
